Dear R.A. The 8600 case has three 'dummy' PCI blanks which can be remove to accomodate the 9600 board. The additional memory slots pose no problem. One consideration is with additional drives mounted on the bottom of the case. If we use all six PCI slots, the front drive will be crowded out by most cards. Perhaps Apple sought economy by manufacturing one case which could house at least two mobos and be sold as two (actually more, when you consider the workstation/server configurations) separate retail units. In nature survival is to the fittest. In commerce, it seems, survival is granted to the efficient. The trick seems to be to be elegantly efficient- that is, to pull an Apple out of one's hat.
